A complete step-by-step guide for becoming a working magician. If you’ve ever wanted to be paid, or to be paid more, for performing magic, then you need to grab a copy of The Approach by Jamie D. Grant—which is now available again after many years of being out of print. Get it as a physical book or ebook (or save big by bundling both).
We all get into magic as a hobby. But, for some of us, there comes a time when we wonder about the possibility of getting paid to share our skills. Whether you’re looking to make a few bucks on the side or want to become a full-time pro, The Approach gives you the practical advice needed to take the next step in your career.
So, why is it a softcover? Well, The Approach is not meant to be a collector's item. It's an interactive workbook filled with a variety of exercises you'll be doing as you go to help put these practical insights into action immediately. Just follow these steps and you’ll come out the other side as a working magician.
“Jamie D. Grant writes with wit, intelligence and brevity – a rare trifecta. In this book, he spills essential information that every walkaround performer needs to know. Sure, you already know some of this, but you don’t know it all. And that makes this a required investment in your performing career.” Ken Weber, author of Maximum Entertainment
The Approach by Jamie D. Grant has long been touted as one of the best resources for any magician looking to understand the real secrets behind the business aspect of show business. Sharing real-world insider knowledge from over two decades of entertaining billionaires and celebrities, Jamie teaches everything you need to go from learning a few tricks to becoming a paid professional.
It doesn’t matter if your magic journey is just getting started or if you have years of experience, this is a complete blueprint for becoming a successful working magician. You’ll learn how to book gigs, how to approach groups, how to connect with clients, how much to charge (including how to charge more!), how many tricks to do per group, how to create a contract, what to do when you get busted, and so much more.
Simply put, The Approach is designed to help you evolve from an amateur into a true professional. It is an investment that will continue to prosper for years to come.
“If you’ve been doing walk-around forever or just bought an invisible deck yesterday - The Approach is the best investment you can make. Jamie’s covered everything based on self-actualized innovation as a worker in the trenches. Two thumb tips up!” Bill Abbott
“P-ss-d that I didn’t have this back in the day.” Steve Valentine
